This!

I really like the PV.
It's really refreshing and it just brighten my mood :)

So the moral of the PV is that if you hitchhike you will meet a handsome cowboy and fall in love. XD

It was a nice PV. Nothing spectacular, but refreshing nonetheless. Her clothes seemed to be a little out of character for her, though... O_o

Oh no subminial messages! :P

I don't think so yet. Hope we will get it soon. ^^

will be adding this to the 1st post

Love the bigger cover. <3

So, tracklisting out yet, or no? *unsure*.

I remember reading on JPM that it was just only Bye Bye and its instrumental....but I can't remember the source though....

Oh, I see. No b-side. :(

she looks so cute in the second promo picture that karen posted!

ick no B-side :(

thanks !

you can see the Asashi CM via http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...-ai-asashi-cm/

^No B-side would be a bummer. :(
B-side -> adds value -> (perhaps) better sales.

I know

that happened when Ken Hirai released his 1st recut single which totally bombed last April :dead2

cos there wasn't any B-side included :irked :o

^Shouldn't they add something to re-cuts? Even if they don't care for sales or chart positions. A B-side, remix, rearrangement. Fans wouldn't feel so ripped off then. Maybe those releases are for casual listeners, though, who like the song, but don't want to buy the album it's on, so they buy the single instead (in theory).

The new CM for download, credits to budonkadonk @ JPM:

I don't know you have to ask avex on that :laugh

it's notoriously known that recut singles don't perform well in Japan , there're exceptations like Utada's Prisoner Of Love

I don't know how Bye Bye's gonna fare seriously because she's up against ayumi & abingdon boys school on that week

Top 10? Or maybe Top 20?

Is this her first single to NOT have a b-side song? :(

don't know it's hard to say ... & if you count her LOVE-chan singles in , then no it's the 3rd time

^To my knowledge, yes. Is it even confirmed that "BYE BYE" won't have a B-side? It's speculation, isn't it?
Well, I wouldn't count the LOVE singles, but yes, those don't have B-sides. The first one had a preview of "White Choco", though.

It's not only about avex, though. lol Hirai Ken's on another label.

so far Aga the official tracklist for Bye Bye's not out yet if I'm not mistaken ... & yes Ken Hirai's under DefSTAR/Sony BMG so it's different
